Let's get to it ⚡️

🔎 Preview: In today's issue

• 💻 WeWeb releases version 3.0 powered by AI
• ⚡️ New Tutorial: Prompt to app in 5 minutes with Bubble

😣 Explain like I'm 5 (Jargon Buster)

We realised that it's very easy to jump straight into explaining AI terminology and we forget there are readers who are really new to this.

So here goes.

If you start creating on the internet, you will run into an API.

An API (Application Programming Interface) is like a digital waiter that helps different software applications communicate and share data with each other. Think of it as a menu of services that one program can request from another.

🤔 Why is it important right now?

APIs are ready-made components for building your business. Just like you don't manufacture your own phone to make calls, you don't need to build every part of your business from scratch. They're essentially the glue of the internet, forming a crucial part of the NoCode and AI technology stack.

Real-World Example: OpenAI's API lets businesses use their powerful language models without building AI from scratch. Imagine trying to create ChatGPT-like functionality on your own!

😊 What you need to know as a non techie?

💰 Cost Reduction: Use Stripe's API for payments instead of building a payment system

🚀 Faster Launch: Integrate Booking.com's API rather than creating a travel booking system

😬 Lower Risk: Leverage trusted solutions like Google Maps API

📈 Rapid Testing: Quickly validate business ideas by connecting existing APIs

🚀 Where to start

Learn the basics through Kieran's API explanation and the FreeCodeCamp API video course. Explore no-code tools such as Zapier, Make or n8n that allow your platforms to 'talk' to each other.

🔊 On your radar

Keep your finger on the pulse on what's hot in the space right now

⭐️ WeWeb, a long standing NoCode app builder, has doubled down on AI.

👉 This matters because...well here's what their CEO says "it's the merging AI & No-code and gives non-programmers the best of two worlds: the speed of AI code generation with the granular control of a visual, drag & drop editor. This follows Loveable's Visual Edits feature as well.

🇪🇺 Strong drops from EU based products 👊

⭐️ Perplexity releases Deep Research and it's free​

👉 This matters because it's another incredibly strong tool to add to your research stack, especially when it comes to idea generation, market analysis and gathering intel. This prompt shows you level of detail you can achieve. Note: ChatGPT's version is 200$ per month

⭐️ Elevenlabs agent handles 4000 customers per day and Zillow's team members (none-programmers) build a tool that handles 100,000 home shoppers​

👉 This matters because it's important we see real life use cases of the evolution of software development. Building a product is clearly accessible with the right amount of grit and determination. The key is starting; meeting other people in the space, fostering a building culture and learning as you go.

📍 Final thoughts

We may have been here circa 2020 when "NoCode" first went Prime Time; but the sentiment remains the same.
​
It's getting easier; not harder, to create - no coding degree required. Grok 3, the latest model from X and Bolt's new app to App Store features give you even more options to solve problems and build your idea.

With good "coding" vibes 👋
